 | | Adding part updates —Erik L. Knopp
|
| | | Is there a procedure for adding part updates to the parts library on a Mac? Has anyone figured out a way to automate it? I've noticed that the updates have folders within folders. Am I correct in guessing that I want to keep the contents of the old (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
